It is quite similar to people. When a person says something, the answer can be quite unreliable and even wrong. So.. it is too similar to us then?

Folding@home was nothing like Alphafold3. Not even close. It was a brute force docking, configuration sampling. Alphafold is a transformer based AI, as far as I know and it "knows" how to fold a protein, yes based on the previous examples from its training data. But is it not how we work, is it?

I am a scientist, I can assure you that scientists never prove anything. They can only show that the explanation they offer is consistent with the the observed facts. This is all scientists can do.

The safety of vaccines is very difficult to "prove". How would you do that? If you give the vaccine to 100 people, none of them would show anything reliably for issues which are below 1%. And 1% over a large population is a lot of people.

Depends on the definition. You can call a person / AI a Nazi, simply because it said something you do not like. And being toxic can mean a serious range of things. I bet with all the safe guards, it is really difficult for current LLMs to be a toxic as an average forum user...

I wonder how much benefit you are getting from your effort of managing this. It looks like you turn home management into your hobby. Not everyone is into this.

I came specifically here to see how soon somebody mentioned Trump. I did not take long a all. Very funny, really.

Like China cares about what people think or want. This, actually, gives them an edge over soft human loving West. We are going to loose to the ruthless practical power of China, unless... I am not sure what we can do about it, really.

In Soviet Russia, to be an artist, you had to be a member of the artist guild, access to which was controlled by the government. Government could kick you out of the guild at any moment for any reason. You could be a member and get some official salary... provided your art is inline with the Communist ideas and goals. Be obedient and do the right thing and you are going to be fine. I think Irish took the idea from them. Very wise, very wise.

It is a small amount of money, they (artists) do not have. This small amount is going to be taken from somebody and distributed by a a bureaucrat to somebody else. Small is a relative term, artist is a vague term. Obviously, this is going to end up as horrendous abusive hole for the society. And, it is not obvious what is a practical benefit of giving money to these "artists" is, either.

I guess, these money are somebody else's. Right? Why not to give the money to doctors? Or drivers? Are they inferior?

How do you become an artist there? Any exams?

I think, this is how you get oil. The biomass it constantly being converted into something that keeps carbon in it. Unless you burn the dead trees right away.

Why? They look the same, they smell the same, they sound the same, they feel the same, but they are different. Hmmm....

My point is, that not many people out there will be able to make this distinction. This is exactly my point from the very beginning. Yes, if I know that you know this much, and I know this much, I may get what you mean. However, there are a lot of people who throw this name at almost random and a lot of people how will take it in a very loose sense. And this is exactly why it is _usually_ not helpful.

The issue is that while AI can do some work done, it does make mistakes, same as humans. However, you can fire a human, and humans tend not to want that. If an AI makes a mistake... then what? You fire it? And? Replace it with what?

I really think that it is not going anywhere until there is some kind of "accountability" in what the AI does. ChatGPT looses some of the employer's money, then OpenAI covers the loss. Then we may get somewhere.
